Elaine Williams (pictured) has a pretty varied CV and the mother-of-two is hoping to add Noosa Councillor to her lengthy resume.

The independent candidate who has previously worked for the State Government's Sport and Recreation Department said she would be relying on three of the basics of local council to help realise her vision of creating a sustainable future for Noosa.

Roads, rates and rubbish.

Having lived in Federal for 28 years the now-Noosaville resident says it's critical the three core principles of local government are addressed.

Ms Williams said keeping rates as low as possible was vital to ensuring rental costs could stay down for residents and keep attracting tourists, investors and small businesses to the area.

She said there were also parking and traffic issues to be addressed which she said she would endeavour to through lobbying of State Government to address black spots.

The self-funded campaigner, who even made her own car bumper stickers, also held ambitious plans for the region's waste management.

She was supportive of the Zero Waste initiative, hoping to see zero landfill, 100% recycling and zero pollution achieved within the Noosa shire.
